I dunno. I kinda think that if I actually was able to put a thong on that I would wonder if that thong would make my butt look fat. Then I would end up looking like a dog chasing his tail trying to reach back there to retieve this God forsaken device.
AND guess what? YOU will still be burning calories laughing at me!
Now that is a heckuva deal, don't ya think?
Hehe!

Yes you need to vary your caloric intake just a little like you need to change exercise routines to get your body to react. Where I get in trouble over the weekend is that I have too much time on my hands so I nosh all day versus during the week my day is structured.

I only purchase produce from Winder Farms or Sumida's Fruit Stand. It is cheaper and lasts longer than anything Walmart or SMith's has. My family eats what is in season and here in Utah, about the time you can't look at another cantalope, the apples are in season. I save lots of money doing it this way. No, we don't have fresh tomatoes in January, but I have cherry tomatoes from my indoor garden. It isn't enough for every day, but they sure taste good on Sunday in a salad. I also can things that are in season. That means a little more work in the summer and fall, but neaerly fresh food the rest of the year. This year has been hard with my back problens, but my girls wanted to learn how, so they are helping (doing) with me.
What I don't can I freeze or dry and store. I know exactly what is in that jar and Sumida's is an organic farm. Got too much zucchini...use your electric grater and shred it up. Most zucchini bread calls for a cup and 1 tsp of salt. Measure it out into ziploc bags and place in the freezer. Now, you can make zucchini bread for all your friends for Christmas. How wonderful is that?
At the end of the season, don't uproot those tomato plants and throw them away. Hang them upside down in the garage. The tomatos will ripen. Just think, you can serve fresh tomato salad on Thanksgiving. Yummy
I buy very little from the store. The butcher, the Winder Farms delivery, Schawn's delivery, The Grainery, and the fruit stand...That is where I spend my money.

Tonight, in fact, I am going to the store to buy more produce. I so love the fresh stuff but as we are nearing the end of summer here I am starting to buy more and freeze what I am not going to use right away.
We are going to Taco Bell for dinner (drive thru). So, I went to their website and looked at the nutritional information and have determined that the pintos 'n cheese and mexican rice (total 300 calories) is going to be a good choice. I will get two of each.
I ordered another unwich with triple the veggies (100 calories) and added 3 oz baked chicken (225 calories) and used Newman's Own light dressing (175 calories) for lunch.
Breakfast was 3/4 c Quaker Corn Bran cereal with 1/2 c skim milk (130 calories total). I was out of Almond Milk or I would have used that.
For snack, a corn vitatop (100 calories) and 4 cups popcorn (120 calories)
So, if I eat those things from Taco Bell I should finish out at about +/- 1200 calories.
I hope everyone is having a good Saturday. I just finished reading another website about people with "invisible" disabilities. FASCINATING!
Anyway, take care and peace to all...
Missy, who never ever wants to see my dinner plate look like this...

I am sorry it is so hot for you Leota. I feel you about the exercise thing. I need to also and have been struggling with motivation. Monday morning I will be at that pool walking at 6:30am then to get my meds and come home! I will probably collaspe when I get home though. LOL!
